Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 150°C.
Step 2
For the crumble topping, spread the oats on a large baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring once, until toasted and golden. Transfer the oats to a bowl and add the lemon zest. Leave the oven on.
Step 3
Melt the butter, sugar, and syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Pour this mixture over the toasted oats, mix well, and set aside.
Step 4
Place the apples, butter, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the lemon juice into a pan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the apples begin to soften. Stir in the cornflour and raisins, then transfer the mixture to a 25cm/10in square or round ovenproof dish.
Step 5
Spoon the flapjack topping evenly over the apples, spreading it into a smooth layer. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Step 6
Serve warm and enjoy.
